COLLAR.

APPLIVCATION m n JULY 31.1914.

Patnted Nov. 14, 1916.

5152s 00., WASHIN end of the outer fold 5 but being provided with apassage ll leading into a substantially circular opening l2 to receivethe shank of the button or stud and the upper portion of that end of thefold 6 beingrounded and extended beyond the end of the outer fold. Theend 14 of the inner fold 6 is hooked shaped as at 16, the hook extendingdownward instead of upward as in the case of Figs. 1 and 2. In adjustingthis form of collar the shank of the button or stud is passed throughthe channel 11 and seated in the substantially circular opening l2 afterwhich the end 1% is slipped into the slit 13 and the hook end 16 engagedover the bottom end of the slit securely holding the parts in theposition shown in Fig. 3.

It will be observed, that one of the terminals of the slits 13, 13,forms the engaging edge of the respective hook,'in the slit 1?) theupper terminal and in slit 13 the lower terminal, and these slits areinclined from these hook engaging terminals toward the adjacent end ofthe collar. This particular arrangement of each slit, allows a largeportion of its slit engaging hook to pass through the slit and lieagainst the inner face of the inner fold, thereby forming an drawnbetween the folds.

From the foregoing it will be observed that we have entirely dispensedwith closed buttonholes in our improved collar and while we haveparticularly described the construction and location of the variousparts, it will be obvious that changes may be made therein within thescope of the appended claim, without departing from the spirit and scopeof the present invention.

Having thus fully described our invention what we claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

A collar comprising an inner and outer fold, said inner fold beingprovided with an integral hook-like attaching means at each end thereofand which are formed by shaping the extremities of the fold so that theywill lie in alinement with said fold, and a slit formed in one end ofthe fold for engaging with the hook-like means on the other end, theother hook-like means being formed and located to engage a collar buttonin the shirt for attaching the front of the collar to the shirt.

In testimony whereof we our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
